Dr. Fazal is Associate Professor of Political Science at Columbia University and a member of the Saltzman Institute for War and Peace Studies. Her scholarship focuses on the relationship between sovereignty and international law.

Additional research focuses on the development of the laws of war, including international humanitarian law and principles such as the Responsibility to Protect. She is the author of State Death: The Politics and Geography of Conquest, Occupation, and Annexation (Princeton University Press, 2007), which won the 2008 Best Book Award of the American Political Science Association’s Conflict Processes Section. She has been a fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University and at the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University. In 2002 she was awarded the Helen Dwight Reid Award of the American Political Science Association.
